Futuristic Demo Zone

As building and design trends change in real-time, it’s important for retailers-and their suppliers-to be forward thinking.

From virtual kitchen and bath showrooms to trainings on forklift simulators, Demo Zone #3 will give you the tools to keep you ahead of the competition.

A little about Eric Goranson, CKD. Eric is a Certified Kitchen Designer with the NKBA since 1999. He has 28 years in the Kitchen and Bath Industry in design and sales.

Common Framing Mistakes

The majority of callbacks can be traced to framing issues.

Many framers are specialists who don’t see the big picture. You can win their loyalty (and their business) by helping them understand how the right product choices and the right installation will minimize drywall problems and ease cabinet and trim installation. That means more work and more money for everybody.

Installing Weather Resistant Barriers 101

Protecting a house from the weather and making it airtight are two different things.

In the old days, you just covered the walls and roof with heavy felt paper, today it’s more complicated. You need to help builders choose the right system for their project and make sure they understand the installation details that lead to long-term durability. And no, they can’t just use whatever tape is the cheapest. Learn more about this session

Airtight walls with lots of insulation are the way of the future for high-performance homes. But many builders can’t get the flashing right in a simple wall, so now they really need your help. In this demo, we’ll go over window and door installations, pipe and vent penetrations, as well as electrical boxes; detailing the do’s and don’ts. Learn more about this session

Exterior Insulation and Rainscreens Done Right

Why keeping the sheathing warm and dry on a house is not just preferred – it’s necessary.

The key to a house’s durability is keeping it dry and temperature controlled. It’s like putting a windbreaker over a wool sweater – it makes sense. While this is fairly easy to achieve on the inside with heat and AC, what about on the outside? In this session we will discuss the components necessary to achieve this goal. You can help builders understand why it’s worth it (more referrals, fewer callbacks) and which products will be work best for them. Learn more about this session

Floors that Squeak, Sag, & Bounce

The builder always blames the lumber, and the lumberyard always blames the builder. But all of the issues are easily avoided if the builder and the lumberyard work together to choose the right products and make sure they’re installed correctly Learn more about this session

Advanced Deck Building Blunders 201

They may be simple structures, but there’s a lot that can go wrong.

For builders, the first hurdle is finding the right products to do the job, whether it’s a specialty hanger or a form for the piers. If you the right stuff on your shelves, that helps, but installing these things correctly is no guarantee. You also need to arm your customers with the most important tool: good information.

TESTIMONIALS

It’s a way for independent lumber dealers to share ideas, to get insight into new products. It will open your eyes to not only a bigger side of the industry but make you feel a very important part of something you can take pride in every day.

Joe Cecarelli

The Expo is a great time for all of us to come together to share our ideas and to network with people you might not know.

Mike Andrews

Huttig Building Products

It’s good to see the new products and trends in the industry. It’s great to see the people I buy from. It’s a regional show that gives members the one-to-one experience that we can’t get anywhere else.
